Aston Villa v Leicester: match preview

Leicester look intent on qualifying for the Champions League. Three goals in seven minutes and a comeback win against Liverpool last weekend should boost their confidence about atoning for a last-minute defeat against Aston Villa at the King Power in October. Matty Cash is also missing this time for Villa, which could give Harvey Barnes room to work his magic on the left. Dean Smith will hope Leicester show some tiredness from Europa League duties as he looks to earn an impressive double over Brendan Rodgers on Villa’s own push for European football. Graham Searles
